If the lawn edges are planted with trees
or bordered by a fence etc., it is best to
use a nylon line head. It achieves a
"softer" cut with less risk of damaging
tree bark etc. than polymer blades.
STIHL PolyCut mowing head
Warning!
To reduce the risk of severe or fatal
injury from blade contact and / or loss of
control, never attempt to use a metal
blade on an FS model for which it is not
authorized.
However, the polymer-bladed STIHL
PolyCut produces a better cut if there
are no plants along the edge of the lawn.
Sharpening is not necessary, and worn
polymer blades are easily replaced.
Using the Mowing Heads
Do not use with mowing line longer than
the intended length. With a properly
mounted deflector, the built-in line-
limiting blade will automatically adjust
the line to its proper length.
Uses either nylon lines or nonrigid,
pivoting polymer blades.
Warning!
To reduce the risk of serious injury,
never use wire or metal-reinforced line
or other material in place of the nylon
cutting lines. Pieces of wire could break
off and be thrown at high speed toward
the operator or bystanders.
Observe wear indicators.
Using the unit with an overly long nylon
cutting line increases the load on the
engine and reduces its operating speed.
This causes the clutch to slip
Warning!
Three rectangular wear limit marks are
applied to the base (periphery) of the
PolyCut. To reduce the risk of serious
injury from breakage of the head or
blades, the PolyCut must not be used
when it has worn as far as one of these
marks. It is important to follow the main-
tenance instructions supplied with the
head.
continuously and results in overheating
and damage to important components
(e.g. clutch, polymer housing
components). Such damage could,
among other things, cause the cutting
attachment to rotate at idle.
STIHL SuperCut mowing head
Fresh line is advanced automatically.
Frayed line is replaced by a simple
adjustment (see instruction sheet
supplied with mowing head).
STIHL AutoCut mowing head
Nylon cutting line advances
automatically when tapped against the
ground (TapAction).
Warning!
If the wear limit marks are ignored, there
is a risk of the cutting attachment shat-
tering and flying parts injuring the
operator or bystanders. To reduce the
risk of accidents from shattered blades,
avoid contact with stones, metal and
similar solid objects. Check PolyCut
blades for cracks at regular intervals. If
a crack is found on one blade, always
replace all blades.
STIHL TrimCut mowing head
Frayed line is replaced by a simple
adjustment (see instruction sheet
supplied with mowing head).
Mowing heads are to be used only on
clearing saws equipped with a line-
limiting blade in the deflector in order to
keep the line at the proper length (see
"Main Parts" chapter in your instruction
manual).
